Chapter 11

Unable to sleep after his ‘date’ with Verena, Jordan opened his journal and began to write.

Documentation.

He needed to put everything down on paper: this new swing in his relationship with Verena, C1, and any progress made toward freedom.

Everything.

Friday: The Date

I don’t know why I kissed her! I almost felt as if I was on a real date. I almost felt like I was having a good time. Who am I kidding? There was no almost about it. I was on a date. I did have a good time and I didn’t want to leave her. That’s why I kissed her. Sad, but true, this attraction is bending my judgment. But it seems that I’m not the only one bending, if I am to believe both Verena and C1. Verena’s so-called bending of Vixen customs could be a plus, possibly leading to a way home. And bending has already gotten me an opportunity to spend an entire day with the men. Once a week, only on Fridays, but it’s a lot more than I had before, which means that I can and should bend some more. I’ll do anything in my power to get back home. Spending time with Verena, getting to know her, enjoying her company, even going as far as kissing her good night won’t deter me from my mission.

Saturday: The day after The Date

I ate breakfast with Verena today. She woke me again with those same words, “Open your eyes to a new beginning.” I have to keep reminding myself to keep my eyes open, to stay focused each time I am with her. It seems easier to be with her. After all that we have been through, our opposing goals, lying naked in each other’s arms, this impossible attraction we can do nothing with, last night’s sweet kiss, sweeter than I want to admit. I thought there would be some awkwardness between us, but there wasn’t. We talked with a sense of freedom I couldn’t have ever imagined existing between us. Who would have thought a bet would make the difference? And what did we talk about? Food. Remnants of that powerfully hot dish, I guess. Seems silly I know, but in sharing my favorite dishes with Verena I was also sharing my memories of cooking with my mother. When I was little and my mom was upset with my father, she would cook to keep her mind off him. She’d cook and bake for the whole neighborhood. I would help, wanting to do something to make her happy. And it worked. I made her happy. Lunch and the evening meal with Verena went exactly the same. We talked and we smiled. I kissed her good night again. I had to. All this conversation with Verena and barely any with C1 feels strange. He’s still upset with me. I really hurt C1’s feelings, as much as you can hurt a computer’s feelings. We haven’t had another lesson, but C1 has informed me that five more men have become attached to sisters of Vixen.
